A glimmer of light

Encouragement to fight another day


Glimmers of light. Just flickers that we must protect and encourage into flames of passion.

That is what I see all around. Here's an example: I went to the grocery store the other day. As I almost always do, I wore a political shirt. My philosophy is to never miss an opportunity to change or influence a mind. The shirt read-The United States Constitution, all rights reserved. Much to my amazement and joy, the bagger and the clerk commented on the shirt. The bagger went on to say that as a student of the State College of Florida, Venice, he had received a pocket constitution. He further elaborated that the Constitution represented to him a code of conduct. That young man is a glimmer of light to be nurtured by the rest of us. And the State College of Florida is to be commended for providing students with information on our amazing birth as a nation and our tumultuous formative years as well as our rights as American citizens. I thank them both for encouraging me to fight another day. Cristine A. White
